The answer depends on your condition bias. If you are happy with lower grade cards, virtually all of the cards on the OP list are do-able. If you want top number plastic, not so much.
As for prioritizing a buy I'd go after the card I like the most first. Again, using the OP list and assuming I don't have any of the cards listed:
1954 topps Hank Aaron
1952 topps Willie mays
1958 topps Jim brown
1968 topps Nolan Ryan
1953 topps Willie mays
1953 topps Mickey mantle
1965 topps Joe Namath
1986 fleer Michael Jordan
I don't like 1953 Topps, Namath or Jordan. Aaron's RC beats any other card on the list IMO, and Jim Brown is the GOAT of football. I grew up marveling at Ryan, and the 1952 Mays is a card I owned as a kid and would not mind getting back.
Topps of my want list right now would probably be these:
1968 Topps Ryan: see above
1954 Topps Gordie Howe: love the card
1972 Topps Julius Erving: favorite as a kid; only one I need of his early cards
1972 Topps Pete Maravich: really like the card
1954 Topps Ernie Banks: great card, had when I was a kid and want it back
